Expert Reply:
The Dexter DX Series brake actuator # K71-650 is for drum brakes with 1,000psi while the Dexter DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator for Disc Brakes # K71-651 has 1,600 psi so that is the actuator you'll need to go with the Kodiak hydraulic disc brake kit # K2R1258L12. Disc brakes will require a higher psi than drum brakes.
